Public Works Minister Juan Edghill yesterday vowed again that the government will bring order to heavy-duty trucks breaking up community roads and damaging homes and said that 200 clamps had been acquired for the process.
Roadworks currently underway between Duncan Street and Sawpit Turn in Sisters Village, West Bank Demerara, have led to serious safety concerns among residents, following a deep excavation that was left unfilled, causing a significant section of the road to collapse.
In response to the concerns raised by residents, the Ministry of Public Works held a community engagement event yesterday at the recently collapsed Stanleytown Bridge. Edghill assured residents that the situation would be addressed.
